As sailing virgins, therefore flotilla virgins, we came into our two-week Whole Ionian adventure facing a steep learning curve. Thanks to the professionalism, patience, perseverance of Andy, Josh and Claire, we had our best fortnight's holiday - ever.
I want to express my appreciation of the quality of the lead-crew: Andy/Josh and Helen. This was defo the best lead-crew we've ever had. The cool-headedness, confidence, and authority that Andy brings to his role is quite exceptional for someone of his age, and I was deeply impressed. And he had an unfailing sense of humour whatever the circumstances: a super guy!
We're back from the two week whole Ionian flotilla having had a fabulous time! Our lead team, Danni, Nicole and Tony, were amazingly hard working, helpful and patient and I really can't thank them enough for looking after us all so well. We celebrated our Silver Wedding Anniversary whilst on the holiday and they helped make it really special and memorable.
As usual (this is my 5th holiday with you guys) the holiday was great, our lead crew were excellent and the route chosen worked well for the people on our flotilla. Thanks again for a great holiday. I do believe that Sailing Holidays independent status and encouragement of sailing at all levels is to be thoroughly applauded. I have nothing but praise for the company and its employees.
We have just come back from our first ever sailing experience, and it was absolutely brilliant, would recommend it to anyone who is thinking about doing it. The sailing was great, and the bays and villages we stayed at were lovely, great choices, lovely tavernas.
Having just arrived back from our 3rd flotilla, this time in the Ionian, we wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed ourselves - again - and to say a particular thank you to the lead crew of Andy, Liam and Helen. Once again, a big thank you from us all.
I would like to say that we had a memorable holiday on North - South Ionian Cruise Flotilla. The heat, the scenery and the whole experience were mind-blowing. We are now working on repeating the even next year!
Just back to the grind following the July 10th South to North Ionian Flotilla with lead boat Elpida. A huge thank you to the lead crew, Andy, Liam and Helen for contributing to a wonderful holiday and giving support to the clueless which was beyond excellent. A great big thanks to the other Flotilla members who formed such a lovely group.
Having recently returned from a South/North Ionian Flotilla on board the "KALOKERI" I am writing to say what a fantastic time we had. On board were my wife and I, 3 sons and daughter in-law and during the 2 weeks I celebrated my 60th birthday, one of the reasons we splashed out on a bit of luxury. From beginning to end the holiday could not have gone better due in no small part to our lead crew of Andy, Liam and Helen. They were totally professional whilst at the same time keeping everyone happy and relaxed, just as it should be on a holiday. We have never sailed with Sailing Holidays before, although we have sailed the area with other company, but you can be guaranteed we will be back with you again. Thank you all again for providing such a wonderful birthday and holiday and our special thanks go to our lead crew who went out of their way to make it special.

Back from another great holiday courtesy of the sailing holidays team (2 week S&N Ionian). Thanks to the lead crew Danni, Tony and Nicole on lead boat Kirki, and all the lovely people we met out there too.
This is our first Flotilla after a few bareboat experiences, we will be back as it was ABSOLUTELY the BEST holiday we have had. The Lead Crew made it so easy and exciting.
Great fortnight on Beneteau 311 delivery North to South. Found wheel steering a delight. Barrie's commentary on the way back from Sivota to the airport was really appreciated. Senta and I are seriously considering the Faraways for next year!!
